“Tankless heaters are sometimes referred to as demand type water heaters,” said Carini. “Since they provide hot water only as it is needed, home and business owners can realize large savings in their utility bills compared to conventional ‘tank’ type water heaters.”
There are a variety of scenarios where tankless water heaters help homeowners save money. Depending on the size of the home, it’s possible that multiple units might be required to handle different appliances – like washers and dryers; or if you are needing hot water at the same time in different parts of the house.
Carini explains that some of the typical residential and commercial applications for tankless water heaters include single family whole house water heating, multi-family residential, point-of-use water heating, retail, restaurants, beauty salons and offices.
